Food Cravings and Aversions

vrj0522 · February 2014

I know there's been different versions of this question posted before but I also know cravings and aversions can change, especially as you get more into first tri. So...

What food cravings are you having? What is causing aversions?

vrj0522 · February 2014

Cravings: Fresh fruit. Also, I'm not really craving bland foods but it's what I can stand the best right now.

Aversions: Sweets of all kinds minus fruit (including greek yogurt, which I force myself to eat for the protein), bbq anything, pizza, and processed foods.

I am also on a bland food diet right now. I can't handle anything smelly. My biggest food aversion is eggs, which is really sad because my eggs are from my backyard chickens...Now we have 2 dozen sitting in the fridge and will have to give them away.

This doesn't really count as a food aversion, but the Subway commercial that shows the new sub with Fritos on it makes me want to vomit. Actually just thinking about the commercial makes me want to vomit.

Not having any cravings, other than maybe Chipotle (we went there for dinner last night even though it's a 30 min drive). Chicken burrito bowl, get in my belly!

Aversions: beef, eggs

I posted a while back about the two new Oreo flavors I bought and was really excited to try. Needless to say, I have zero desire to try the cookie dough ones. My stomach turns just thinking about them. I've been craving salty and crunchy. Like chips, pretzels, popcorn. I used to drink diet pop very rarely, had DH get some root beer with dinner last night and it was like it was the best thing I've tasted in a long time.

Thinking about soup or anything soup-y makes me want to be sick. Also the smell of lamb.

I am enjoying the heck out of some chicken, vegetables, fresh fruit and anything with tomato sauce still though! Me and Special K have formed a tight relationship over the weekend as well. I wish I could find Kix in Switzerland....

MAH1009 · February 2014

Craving sweets! Aversions. - chicken breast which I usually love, beans, taco seasoning, and any leftovers that I have to look at in the fridge.

irisheyes317 · February 2014

@mer313131 how funny -- Chipotle chicken burrito bowl is now #1 on my aversions list! I was craving one on Saturday and my first bad bout of MS kicked in right after.

Other aversions: Anything smelly or with a weird texture.

Cravings: Anything cold and crunchy is sounding good -- baby carrots and apples from the fridge are doing it right now.

Wino411 · February 2014

Cravings - Salt and Vinegar potato chips, french fries, pulled pork, anything covered in gravy

Aversions - I've been craving celery this whole time. I finally got around to buying some and ate a few stalks Saturday for lunch with ranch dip. It was awesome. Fast forward a few hours, worst mistake of my life. Just the thought of it grossed me out. I had to drink a ginger ale to take my mind off of what was in my belly and on my palate.

caranichole · February 2014

I constantly want vegetables! I could just sit and eat veggies all day long right now.

Aversions - sweets which is super unfortunate since a lady from the church sent us home with sweet potato pie and 7up pound cake.

@archi35 plain special k or one of the fruity alternatives? Special K Red Berries is my favorite cereal though it may be too sweet for my taste right now.

amandacaffrey · February 2014

Aversions: Anything chicken, especially on the bone. Meat in general is pretty unappealing but I can stomach beef and lamb. Eggs, onions, garlic, melting butter (a la grilled cheeze), and the majority of soups.

Cravings: Not craving much.. just happy to stomach bland things. Had a mac and cheese craving the other day... but that's really it. Living on fruit, salad, cereal, water, and fresh juice (my hubby juices for me)

@caranichole: I agree its on the sweet side for my usual taste, but the Red Berries give that nice sour kick that works for me these days. I tried Cherrios but they taste like old cardboard to me right now. Any other plain but tasty cereal suggestions?

femail · February 2014

Cravings: fresh fruit. I can only eat small bits at a time. Yesterday I had a couple crackers, some cottage cheese, a frozen gluten free waffle and strawberries through the course of the day.

aversions: all meats, eggs, mac & cheese, the frito sub on the subway commercial (I see someone else gets sick seeing that, too!), mexican, and anything I cook by the time its ready to eat.

I called my OB's nurse today to ask about this wicked morning sickness, and they're putting me on a medication today. Its not good for baby that I haven't been able to eat much at all the past two weeks... so I hope it helps!!

JessAnnJ · February 2014

@femail if they are giving you Zofran pick up some prune juice. The constipation you can experience on Zofran is no joke.

Kboyce08 · February 2014

Cravings: fruits, mainly watermelon and strawberries, cottage cheese with pineapple, blue slurpies, rice and veggies.

Aversions: anything too salty, eggs, and sweets

femail · February 2014

@JessAnnJ - Thanks for the tip! If that's what it is, I'll definitely grab some prune juice!

ss265 · February 2014

Cravings: McDonald's cheeseburgers, fresh fruit, salt and vinegar potato chips

Aversions: Nothing really - I am so hungry all the time that everything always sounds good.

teresaide · February 2014

Cravings: Pretty much anything sweet. And bacon burgers.

Aversions: The smell of cinnamon suddenly makes my stomach turn.

HopeNotLost · February 2014

Cravings: Steak. And I am typically not a steak person. I'm also craving salty anything. I've been eating so much lately, which is wonderful compared to my other three pregnancies. I couldn't keep anything down, so this time I am enjoying it.

I haven't had any real aversions yet, but I am not interested in sweets really. I can take them or leave them at this point.

AppleGrapeMSTK · February 2014

I'm at the stage where nothing sounds appealing. The thought of food makes me ill, but I need to eat to keep the ms at bay. I eat saltines and Cheerios nonstop.

This is me. I'll occassionally get a taste for something specific and, within a few minutes, I no longer want it.

Firemanswife11 · February 2014

Aversions: everything. I'm having to force feed myself. Far cry from last week when I was trying to eat the world.

SusieBW · February 2014

No real cravings, but Rice Krispies are my favorite thing ever for the past couple of weeks. And pretty much anything sweet.

No real aversions either, but I'm pretty easily grossed out by smells, so food that's too smelly really turns me off.

KingLED · February 2014

I'm a huge fan of marshmallows when I'm not pregnant, so I'm not saying it's a craving. But it's pretty much the only thing that doesn't make me queasy at the thought. Unfortunately, it's fucking marshmallows. So I'm still not going to eat more than a handful a day, but that's the closest thing to a craving that I've had.

And aversions is every other edible thing.

BeanNut · February 2014

Cravings: Lean toward bland food (although I had spicy Indian food yesterday that was fabulous!). I am mostly craving food that I don't have to cook. Plus some very cold things like lemonade with crushed ice.

Aversions: Anything I have to prepare which is very tough. Meat. Greasy food.

AlliBalleza · February 2014

What food cravings are you having? Anything with lots of salt or cheesy starches (like mac n cheese, au gratin potatoes, pizza)

What is causing aversions? GARLIC. The second I smell garlic I just about lose my stomach.

DreadGamerWife · February 2014

Cravings: Falafel Hummas rolled pitas - especially the pickled turnips. I know, I am strange. Also tart lemon desserts.

Aversions: Chocolate (sigh) and most meat products (especially at night). Also, onions, but I don't eat those already due to an digestive intolerance issue (but DH loves to cook them and I have to leave the house while does).

jarc2009 · February 2014

I'm not really having any cravings but I'm having serious aversions to things I normally like. Also my taste buds seem to be off and nothing tastes as good as normal
Aversions: I'm having a crazy strong aversion to cheese. I can't even watch dh eat it without feeling nauseous!! Also aversions to anything rich, creamy, fried or greasy. I'm normally a chocoholic but have not been able to eat any of my chocolate from valentines day

I keep trying to eat it and then feel sick!

cactus5 · February 2014

My craving has been for Raising Cane's chicken fingers and sauce, frozen yogurt, and gummy candy (which I usually despise).
My biggest aversion is eggs-gross! I am always grossed out by uncooked meat while pregnant, but I can eat it as long as I don't have to cook it.

roundabout2 · February 2014

Cravings: Halo or cutie oranges, avacados, greek yogurt mixed with granola.

No food aversions other than my normal dislikes

Seriously, last pregnancy, I think I ate 3 falafels a week. I NEEDED them. It was ridiculous. And I think I got 2 parking tickets for parking illegally to go to the falafel shop, because my pregnant ass wasn't walking more than 2 blocks for that. Me and the falafel lady were tight. Whenever I go in there now, she's always asking about my DD.

So, I was sitting here at work, feeling queasy as hell, and then I had a brilliant idea. Whenever I got a hangover, the surefire cure for me was fries from Wendy's with a Coke or Diet Coke. So, I just made a quick Wendy's run and am happily eating some fries and feeling so much better!

Mmmmmm. Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich with extra pickles! And Frostyyyyyyy! With extra salty fries! :x Wonder if there's a wendy's by my work....

miriamm08 · February 2014

Craving: rice. For some reason it is the only thing that sounds appealing lately.

Aversions: pretty much everything, except for rice is unappealing to me lately. Something's more than others, eggs are probably the biggest thing right now. Just thinking about them makes me feel sick:/

keenkamsmom · February 2014

Cravings: Egg rolls, pizza and honey bunches of oats with almonds, apples

Aversions: ground beef, that subway commercial (barf!), most meats

Now I need fries.

fijal98 · February 2014

I'm jealous of all of you who have cravings! I want NOTHING and want nothing to do with food. I get "morning sickness" mostly in the afternoon and evening, so I try to eat "normally" as much as I can in the morning. Then at night it's mashed potatoes, crackers, and lemonade. Whatever I can find I try and force feed myself so I can prevent getting sick- and if I do get sick at least it doesn't hurt coming back up!

heathera1979 · February 2014

Cravings: cheese and beef jerky

Aversions: Tomatoes, pizza, anything with thick tomato sauce, pork chops, chocolate, and leftovers!

OMG I was so excited when I saw the cookie dough oreos too... I Loooove oreos and cookie dough so what could be better. Well I bought them, tried them, and was disgusted by them and so disapointed.

WonkersMagoo · February 2014

Ugh. I just bought this all natural soap in my attempt to be baby friendly and 2 weeks later, I cannot STAND the smell of it.

AmandaJean12 · February 2014

Cravings: Fluffy cookies. You know, the frosted sugar cookies that are so soft they practically melt in your mouth? I hadn't had one in years but I sent my husband for them earlier this week and they're kind of amazing.

Aversions: Almost everything else with any flavor. Especially peanut butter, which is really sad.
